I brought this years almanac after you were talking about and I loved reading it this year even though I am in Australia but I have been to England so I found it interesting to learn more about England so I ordered next years almanac so thanks because I am really enjoying it 🎄📚🎄
I read an interesting scientific study about how memory can be tied to a specific space. In it, they gave people things to remember and had some walk a certain distance, while others walked that same distance but through one or more doors. Turned out the more doors you went through, the more likely you were to forget. That's why sometimes if you go back to the physical location where you had the thought it will come back to you more quickly. So interesting!
I ask for that almanac every Christmas now since you showed it a few years back - even in the US I love it! I love anything about the moon so it’s such a treasure for me with that alone!
It's not just your area that's plagued by roadworks - it's the same here too, there are temporary traffic lights to contend with in every journey. And a huge project installing fibre optic broadband hasn't helped 🤷🏼♀️
Hi Ali, Did you know the Almanac has a podcast to accompany it? Its called And the Season Turns and it comes out on the 1st of every month. It gives more of an abridged version of what is written in the book. I listened it it the last couple of years. In 2022 they played a folk song of the month and last year was a found sound - a minute of nature at that time of year which I really enjoyed. One of them was recorded in the outskirts of the city I lived in and I had no idea we had a forest! I know you will be talking about the book tomorrow but I adored Wintering! I also recommend Enchantment by the same author.
The road in our town near the royal mail building with work being done keeps causing issues for our son going to and from college. Not happy they started in September just when kids were going back. 🙄
Hi Ali, I just wanted to say that I have been making cookies with Phoebe's recipe from vlogtober and they always come out perfectly! I love watching your videos, my other half comes from Dartford so it's lovely to see familiar places. Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas 🎄
I bought The Almanac as part of my friend's Xmas pressie last year and also bought one for myself and I loved it. I've done the same for this Xmas. Do you read it all at once or throughout the year? I tried reading it on the 1st of month but this year I going to just read it straight off. Thanks for introducing me to The Gardening Almanac Ali. 😊
Oh Ali! I've just had the best few hours. I've been winding up my advent minis from Ellie at Craft House Magic using the back of the kitchen chairs, whilst listening to your Spotify This Little Wonderful Life compilation, which I love. Thank you. So glad you had a good works Christmas lunch, it sounds delicious. xx 😊
We called them “turnips” as children, but they are actually rutabagas ( pronounced Root a bag a)❤ 🇨🇦 Also, I just wanted to say that I enjoy these shorter blogs at Christmastime because I have so much to do that I don’t have the time to sit and watch several hour-hour and a half of my favourite bloggers, but I can sit in 3 or 4 ten to twenty minute ones. Happy Christmas to you and all your family including your Mom, Mia, and the Chickens. I too would like to hear your Mom read Auld Lange Syne
Phonetically..root-a - bayger, Ali..say that 10 times and you'll always remember. Don't envy your road-work drives to work. Almost there, young lady...deep breath.Sleep the sleep of angels xx
Hello, I really enjoy your videos, thank you so much for them. I have a desperate request 😊. I can't find anymore the video with the chicken soup/ramen that Lilia likes so much. I made it once for my son and he requested it again... can't remember the name, the guy in the video, nothing 😢. Please, save me❤
@@JoyVE709 you'll laugh, I looked at the Vlogtober playlist and I can't see any with number 20😅. Crazy hahaa. Thanks anyway, for your message, I will keep looking
@@lauralaura8340 I tried linking it but that seems to have been removed. Try searching for vlogtober comfort food, rainy football, cosy Sunday - that's the title 😅

What a beautiful almanac. Not sure if it's pronounced the same all over the US, but in the mountain west it's root-uh-bag-uh.
The almanac looks great for next year x
Beautiful artwork on the Almanac 🎄

And yes what is it with road works I live in Bournemouth and they are everywhere 😫
I ask for that almanac every Christmas now since you showed it a few years back - even in the US I love it! I love anything about the moon so it’s such a treasure for me with that alone!
Glad you got your almanac for 2025 I agree good illustration on front cover
